[US Entertainment] 1994

"Ah!!!!" Josh lay on the big soft bed in the hotel, staring blankly at the ceiling.

He was no longer in the mood to look at the rewards and punishments of the task, and his whole body was wrapped in despair—the penalty for the Golden Globe nomination task was disfigurement, so what would be the punishment for winning the Oscar?

Soak in a cesspit?Running naked in public?

Hehe, the hot chicken system, ruined his youth, ruined his life!

He felt that this damn thing shouldn't be called an acting system at all, it should be called a dead man does not pay his life system, which belongs to the type of magical realism.

"Ahhhhhh!!!" Josh rubbed his hair hard, feeling like he had aged 10 years overnight.

Life, he is still a child, why should he be treated like this?

Sadly, before Josh's inner drama was fully released, it was drawn to a halt. On the side of the hotel corner, opposite to Josh's room, Al's angry roar was deafening: "Stinky boy, are you crazy? If you don't sleep at night, what's the ghost calling?"

Then there was a bang bang bang bang bang bang, Josh suspected that Al might have come down to beat him, so he hurriedly tiptoed to the door, listened carefully for a while, then locked the door with a bang, and finally hid back trembling bed.

Al Pacino's roar can't be offended, can't be offended.

Feeling sad and stunned, Josh felt like a critically ill patient lying down to die. He no longer had the desire to take a look at this bird system. God, he just wanted to make a movie in peace!

Why did such a terrible thing happen!

"Huh..." Fortunately, he still has two chances to play with the acting party. If the rewards given by the system can be as shocking as the tasks released, maybe his acting skills can be improved rapidly in a short period of time.

Josh clenched his fists.

Although the reality made him despair, Josh is definitely not the character to admit defeat easily. If he chooses to admit defeat without even trying, then he has failed the precious opportunity to do it all over again.

Thinking too much at night, Josh inevitably yawned when he got up early the next day. As soon as he walked to the studio, his eyes were as foggy.

He rubbed his forehead, pinched his eyelids with his fingers, and his sleepiness finally subsided a little.

Philip Seymour Hoffman patted Josh on the shoulder from behind: "Josh, what did you do last night, why did you scream so badly?"

"I didn't do anything." Josh narrowed his eyes and yawned again, "I dreamed that I was chased by a wild boar, do you believe it?"

Philip Seymour Hoffman showed a simple and honest smile, but he played a bad boy in the movie, and the simple smile on his chubby face inexplicably gave off a cunning meaning. Facts have proved that Josh had a little idea That's right, this guy said the next sentence:

"Being chased by a wild boar can be so miserable. I think you were trampled on by a wild boar, right?"

"It's Big Ding Ding, okay?" Josh rolled his eyes and corrected him word by word.

The two were chatting, and Al Pacino came up from behind. The old man's usual ferocious face was full of displeasure at the moment, and his eyes stared at Josh with ice scum in his eyes: "Josh Walter, good morning !"

Without thinking about it, Josh changed places with Philip Seymour Hoffman. Originally, he was standing between Al and Philip. Now that he moved, there was a burly Philip between him and Al—it happened to be Being able to perfectly avoid Al's air-conditioning distance, Josh felt that his own safety was finally guaranteed.

"Young man, you can't escape." Al blinked, "Don't you know, for the elderly, a good night's sleep is the most important guarantee for work, and you have ruined all of this. "

"Yawn, but Al, you look very energetic." Josh argued.

"Humph."

Al walked away quickly, and Philip Seymour Hoffman pushed Josh: "Man, you are over, you offended Al."

"Yeah——" Josh yawned and said casually, "So he will beat me?"

"It's not going to be beaten, but he should torture you terribly during the filming, so you can wake up." Philip Seymour Hoffman gave Josh a sympathetic look, "later If Martin scolds you, don't cry!"

Josh shook his neck: "Then I'll tell him that Philip threw two super big cockroaches into my room yesterday, and I was so scared that I didn't sleep well all night."

Philip Seymour Hoffman: "…"

"Philip also told me very proudly that he was going to throw it in Mr. Brest's room at night."

Philip Seymour Hoffman: "…"

"Pray to God, Josh, I hope you are rolled all over the floor by Al." Philip sighed, "Suddenly feel that it is an unfortunate thing to cooperate with you."

Josh blinked: "My luck."

…………

Murphy's Law says that if there is a chance that things will go bad, no matter how small the chances are, it will always happen.

Josh really experienced the meaning of this classic law.

Of course, what he experienced more deeply was Philip Seymour Hoffman's crow's mouth, which was as effective as his name.

From the first scene between Josh and Al today, Martin Brest has never stopped shouting: "Josh, are you in a daze? You should at least respond to this situation. Instead of freezing there like a log!"

"Josh, have you lost your reflexes?"

"Josh, you really didn't sleep well, why did you perform so badly today, show your performance a few days ago!"

In the face of Martin Brest's questioning, Josh remained silent. After a while, he lowered his head: "Martin, please give me some time, thank you."

"Okay, in the afternoon we're filming other people's scenes, you go back and take a break to find your status." Martin Brest said, "But you only have half a day, not more."

Martin Brest sighed, looking at Josh's frustrated back, he couldn't help turning his gaze to Al: "Al, Josh is still a young man..."

Al Pacino raised his head casually: "Young people need tempering the most, don't they? He is a very talented and outstanding young man, but being an actor is not enough just to be talented. He has to realize My own shortcomings, instead of feeling invincible after being dazzled by one or two compliments from the media, I was just trying to make him sober."

Mr. Director shrugged: "Okay. Your method is too cruel, and most people can't bear it."

Al Pacino whispered: "Hollywood is not a place for compassion. If he wants to survive in this industry, he has to get used to the existence of people like me."

Bo Goodman suddenly joined the conversation between the two: "This is why Al is always considered to have a bad temper by the outside world. He actually likes Josh very much, but the way is a bit rough. Al, now Josh will probably put you Make it a big bastard."

Al shrugged: "I don't mind at all."

After returning to the hotel, Josh closed the door silently, and then sighed heavily.

Al really taught him a lesson today.He has always been very aware of the gap between himself and actors like Al, but he was probably really dazzled by the fact that he was nominated for a Golden Globe with Dustin Hoffman. The gap shouldn't be too big.

However, when Al really broke out with all his acting skills, Josh really understood how big the gap between him and Al was.

It's almost like a chasm.

Martin Brest asked why Josh was as unresponsive as wood. In fact, Josh was not unwilling to react, but Al did not give him enough time to react. The other party's performance was real and active, as if the real Frank The lieutenant colonel appeared on the set, with appearance, movement, and language. Al Pacino played the real Frank. In contrast, Josh's Charlie looked awkward and weak, like a baby showing off in front of adults. Just as naive and ridiculous.

Josh was indeed hit.

Sighing, he didn't mean to blame Al.

Although Al's crushing and Martin Brest's reprimand made Josh very embarrassed, Josh understood very well that they were just showing the naked truth in front of him.Before this "Scent of a Woman", Josh's acting experience was only two films, "The Uninhibited Sky" and "My Cousin Vinny". Marisa Tomei is easy to get along with, in fact, Al is not difficult to get along with, although the old man always has a straight face and a bad temper, but he is definitely not the type of person who deliberately makes things difficult for young actors.

But what if Josh really met that kind of person?

They have outstanding acting skills, but they don't have a broad mind. The way to humiliate young actors on the set is very simple, that is to use acting skills to overwhelm the other party, make the other party lose confidence, make the other party realize that their acting skills are useless, and finally question themselves all day long. There is no further possibility in the matter of acting.

Of course, Josh rolled his eyes silently, and he would never be grateful to Old Man Al.

To thank the other party after being severely abused is something only a fool would do.

Josh put an end to all possibilities of being a fool.

Just when Josh was thinking about how to perform well under Al's oppression, Rui Fan suddenly called, and Josh narrated his painful experience to Rui Fan.

Rui Fan laughed and said, "What should I say, it's my own fault?"

"Do you still have sympathy?" Josh pretended to choke, "Aren't we good friends?"

"Yeah, but Josh, I don't think you have anything to sympathize with, so did you really get trampled on by a wild boar?"

"Shut up, annoying Rui Fan, we are no longer friends."

"As you can see, our friendship is so fragile, dear Josh."

Josh: "..."

"No matter what, I'm going to beat Old Man Al hard, I swear."
